Why must Mom lose her shit?

I am 6 months pregnant, with my third. I developed gestational diabetes. So I am trying to fix and eat dinner more consistently. I also can’t bend over without getting heartburn an a limb to the ribs.I asked husband and 4 yr old to help set the table. The only one who helped and did well was the 2 yr old.I advise that after dinner we would all help tidy up by gathering dirty clothes in a basket so the an be taken up, sorted and washed. I also say we will pick up toys and shoes.Husband decided to start by picking up craft paper and placing it into the recycling bin. After that task was completed I asked kids to help pick up their socks and clothes to put in the basket. Husband and kids are making shaDow puppets on the ceiling. I start kicking socks into a pile so someone can bend down and pick them up. No one helps, husband is encouraging singing of songs and spooky stories. So I begin unsuccessfully picking up socks with my toes and putting them in the basket. I ask again for a helper. I am ignored.Finally I yell I need a helper! I cannot bend over and pick up your clothes please help me. Hubs sends the 4 yr old over to help and complains that the 2 year old Ian helping.Then the hubs sends the 4 year old upstairs to be my helper. Basically she spent the next 45 minutes getting into stuff and asking to use scissors.FFS! I was just trying to gather enough clothes to wash so people have clean pants for tomorrow! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2O3phJV
